Well in Lakeville we have Siamese twins joined at the hip. Pretty unusual but not spectacular.

I wish we had some Siamese Twins.

I was born in little Sylacauga, Alabama - home town of Jim Nabors aka Gomer Pyle. My dad went to school with him and they were buddies, working at the same drug store for a couple of years. His sister lived down the street from us, and one Halloween when we went Trick or Treating at her house Mr. Nabors answered the door, got a load of our scary costumes, and said "Well GOOOLLL-LEEE!". And then he gave us some candy and told us he knew our daddy.

We moved away soon afterwards.

A very famous historical event took place in Sylacauga on November 30th, 1954: a meteorite crashed through the roof of Ann Hodges' house and bounced off her hip, leaving a nasty bruise. It's the only known instance of a person getting hit by an object from Outer Space!

They later built a drive-in at the spot and named it 'The Comet Drive In' to commemorate the event. My aunt took my cousin and me in her little red convertable to see BLOOD FREAK there - boy, did we get in trouble!
